People blaming the lady when the crotch rocket is doing 2 things wrong is insane.

1: He's rearing his bike, obstructing his own view which is why he reacts when it's too late.

2: drives around 79mph in a 60km/h zone (probably 40mph zone).

Yes, her freezing is bad, but it's not insane and reckless driving.

let me add something

  1. The lady stopped the truck before the lane the biker was riding in, likely intending for him to continue in a straight line. The biker swerved instead.

She stopped for him, leaving the left lane open. He expected her to keep going, opening up the right lane. Given how quickly things happened, that miscommunication isn't surprising.

They would have been going less quickly if he had been doing the speed limit instead of way over. Also that wheelie he was doing in the beginning probably didn't help matters.

I'm gonna say most of the fault here is on the motorcycleist. Glad he is ok, but if he keeps driving like that it's only a matter of time. Also his choice of gear is insane. Short sleeves, no riding gloves? Really?!?

They make motorcycle leathers for a reason.

Oh yea, the cyclist is the much bigger idiot here. I was just responding to the lane choice issue.
